Park Project

Nature Playscape

Brackenridge Park Conservancy is building a free, nature-based, and inclusive Playscape for San Antonio to enjoy. Our goals include using sustainable and durable equipment, incorporating thematic features, and providing universally accessible play areas to foster environmental stewardship and a sense of community.

What’s happened so far?

  • Community input meetings were held on August 21, 2024. Attendees spoke with the design team and Brackenridge Park Conservancy, sharing ideas on how the nature-based playscape could best meet the needs of people visiting the park.
  • Community input meetings were held on September 25, 2024 to attain additional feedback.
  • Pop-ups were held at kid-friendly events and locations to attain playground feedback.
  • A survey was shared to attain feedback from community members who were unable to attend community meetings.
  • Design Reveal community meeting held on December 16th. Designs were based on community feedback collected through two community meetings, nearly 200 digital survey responses, and countless one-on-one conversations at community events.

Brackenridge Park Conservancy is committed to providing vibrant, sustainable spaces that serve the diverse needs of San Antonio’s families and communities.
